We all need to join together to oppose and obstruct them.
We are a nation of laws and they are violating them thousands of times a day.

Yesterday, more than 50 people were arrested by Capitol police for protesting the proposed cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential lifelines. These cuts will cause immense harm to disabled and multiply marginalized people. Among those arrested was our Governmental Affairs Liaison, Carol.

What do the Congresswoman who’s being prosecuted, the U.S. Senator who was tackled & handcuffed & the state judge who’s being prosecuted all have in common?
They were targeted by federal thugs who are building a police state to target not just immigrants but anyone who questions their fascism.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests.
None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

I have at least two people in my replies who are extremely upset that I suggested the two political assassinations of democratic politicians, yes even white ones, counts as an act of Jim Crow style terror and what is alarming is that these two accounts seem to be real people.
